164 - Mix the Vibe - Joe Claussell - Disc 1 (1999)

Nicky Siano is a TRUE pioneer of the dance music scene, his first job playing records at New York’s famed club The Round Table, was in 1971. In 1972, at the age of 17, he opened/designed and was the DJ at The Gallery, called The First Disco in books ie. ‘Love Saves the Day’ and ‘Love Goes to Buildings on Fire.’ Both books and documentaries such as Maestro chronicle how Nicky started many DJ techniques like beat matching records, designing the first crossover and building the first club Bass Horns. He inspired owners to build such clubs as The Paradise Garage and Studio 54. He launched the careers of Grace Jones, D.C. La Rue, Loleatta Holloway, Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles, to name a few. His party at Twelve West, 1999-2002, was heralded by New York Magazine, The Village Voice, Time Out, Hx, Next, Flyer, DJ Times and Paper Magazine as the party of the year.

Nicky hosts a weekly podcast, The Nicky Siano Podcast, on iTunes, Soundcloud and NickySiano.com, has gained a major audience, with over 50,000 downloads and listens weekly. His stories of the seventies experience and the unique music he plays has made the podcast a Saturday evening staple.

A movie filmed at The Gallery on rich 16mm film, with incredible footage of the club, and life in 1975, is currently available on DVD. Love is the Message, a night at the Gallery 1977, is out now and available from www.loveisthemessagemovie.com. The film is composed from rare footage of actual parties at The Gallery. This pristine 16mm footage transports the viewer to a time when people let go of their inhibitions, and DANCED! This film will be the definitive statement on the seventies dance music scene, because it was actually shot there. Frankie Knuckles, Nicky’s good friend and protégé, recently passed. He is one of the narrators of the film.

So much more then a club owner and DJ, Nicky is a New Yorker, who has been present at many defining moments in New York city's history; i.e. the Stonewall Riots, The opening of the Gallery, the Paradise Garage and Studio 54, The Act Up Aids protests, the rained out Diana Ross concert in Central Park, the first night of Bette Midler’s first Broadway show, her performances at the Continental Baths….the list is endless.

In 2004, SOUL JAZZ RECORDS released the first Gallery compilation an incredible collection of rare Gallery hits.

Nicky is featured in Maestro(http://www.maestro-documentary.com/), the documentary chronicling the life and times of Larry Levan, now available on DVD. In Tim Lawrence's epic book, Love Saves the Day, the definitive book on the seventies dance music scene, Nicky's career is chronicled in some detail. In 2012 the new bestseller, Love Goes to Buildings on Fire, chronicles Nicky’s achievements in molding the dance music industry.

Nicky has mixed and recorded over 30 dance classics. In 1977 he was the first DJ to produce a record-- the underground classic “Kiss Me Again” on Sire Records, for which he partnered with famed musician Arthur Russell, and sold more than 300,000 copies,

It was no coincidence that when Steve Rubelle opened Studio 54 he chose Nicky as one of the two original DJ’s, he is the last surviving original DJ from the legendary club. In October 2011, SiriusXM re-opened the original Studio 54, with all the original people, for one night only. Nicky was chosen by Ian Schrager to be at the decks for this evening. This event was featured on Entertainment tonight, and in PEOPLE magazine October 2011.

For a few more years, Nicky continues to tour the world. The film about The Gallery is a must for any fan of dance music. There are only two surviving DJ's who actually started the dance music scene in New York. Nicky Siano is one of them, and he TRULY deserves to be called a legend.

Mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties, our lives. But in the internet age, the artform has been lost to online mixes which simply don't create the same magic your CD collection did. The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.
